The protagonists of Virgin River will have more time to explore their feelings: the Netflix romantic series has been renewed by the streaming platform
The series Virgin River, created by Sue Tenney, debuted in December 2019 on Netflix. Since then, season after season, it has always received public acclaim and excellent data, and the result hoped for by fans has finally been achieved and made official: the series has been renewed for two more seasons. Mel and Jack will have plenty of time to explore their romantic love and captivate fans with their stories and passions.
Last July, with the end of Virgin River’s third season, millions of fans began to wonder if and when there would be a season continuation. USA Today has revealed that not only will there be new episodes, but that Netflix has decided to commit to a fourth and fifth season. It could only be that way, Virgin River, not only is beloved by American fans, but according to data tracked by Nielsen, it has literally climbed the charts of most watched content on streaming. The series is based on the romance novels of Robyn Carr and tells the story of Melinda Monroe who goes to work in the small town of Virgin River in California thinking that it is the ideal place to start her life again, leaving aside the painful past.
Where we are
The third season finale has shocked fans and left open several roads for the continuation of the series. Jack and Mel reunite after a period of distance between them. They decide to rediscover each other by taking a hike in the mountains: both unaware of their respective secret. Jack is the first to reveal himself: once he gets down on one knee in front of his beloved, he asks her to marry him. The first surprise.
Mel, for her part, reveals a secret to Jack that upsets him and all the fans. Mel, in fact, is pregnant but is not sure who is the father of the baby she is carrying. In fact, the woman had decided to try to have a baby with artificial insemination: the semen is from her ex-dead husband Mark. This, however, is a real narrative bombshell for everyone.
The fourth season
The fourth season of Virgin River is supposed to start from this very point. We’ll find out if the baby’s father is Jack or Mel’s late husband. Sue Tenney, show runner of the series, some time ago had stated that this “detail” would be revealed by the fourth season of the series, but the twists and turns could be close.
For now there are no certainties about the release date of a new season, we know that filming has begun and that we will probably see in new episodes within the first six months of 2022 on Netflix.
Curiosity
Netflix has announced the fourth and fifth series, but Robyn Carr’s novels from which the melodramatic series is based are twenty: the material for as many seasons is not lacking.
At the moment we await the new revelations and news for the release of the fourth season.
